Australian Unity reshuffles executives

Australian Unity Group has added to the title of CFO Darren Mann. He's taken on the responsibilities for group executive, finance and strategy following the promotion of Esther Kerr-Smith.

Mann has been with Australian Unity since 2012 when he joined as a senior business analyst. He was shortly promoted to treasury manager where he looked after the issuance of Australia's first simple corporate bond. He has been CFO since 2017.

"Darren has played a significant role in shaping the Group's finance function in the eight years he's been with Australian Unity," said Australian Unity managing director Rohan Mead. "This appointment recognises Darren's capability to steward the company's finances and shape our strategic growth agenda. Darren is an adept leader and will continue to motivate the Group through its next growth phase."

Prior to joining Australian Unity, Mann was a senior business analyst with Lloyds Banking Group and with the Royal Bank of Scotland. He also spent time at Merrill Lynch and KPMG.
